Composed in 2023 by Jane Kozhevnikova, “Can We Reflect the Stars” is a setting of a poem by Joel Snyder for SATB and piano. It was written for Celebris Ensemble directed by Joel Snyder and premiered by them on May 19, 2024, in Kalamazoo, MI.

This song reflects on the great mysteries of the universe and how they connect to human life. Through poetry and music, the artists invite listeners to marvel at the universe's inherent love, a love woven into the very fabric of existence. The song then poses a powerful question: how can we reflect this cosmic love in our own lives and illuminate the world around us?
